Jake Paul has revealed his one regret from his fight against Mike Tyson.
The YouTuber went head to head with the former boxing champion earlier this month.
The highly anticipated fight at the AT&T stadium in Arlington, Texas, was watched in person by 80,000 fans, with 65 million more streaming the action live on Netflix.

Paul came out victorious in the ring and has since shared his one regret from the win.
No, it has got nothing to do with the fact that he failed to achieve a knockout.
Instead, according to him, Paul actually did not want a knockout fight.
After the match, Paul told reporters: “I wanted to give the fans a show. I didn’t want to hurt someone that didn’t need to be hurt.”
However, the content creator recently appeared on his brother Logan’s podcast, Impaulsive, to share his thoughts on the fight.
Paul said: “I wish he would have put up a better fight so I could have risen more and done more.
“He was surviving, so that was the only thing I didn’t like.”
The fight was originally due to go ahead in July but had to be postponed when Tyson suffered health issues.
In the video, Logan said: “Some people were disappointed in Mike’s performance. They thought Mike would give more. You see those videos of him going crazy hard on those pads.”
To which Paul responded: “People are like, ‘Oh, it’s rigged because look at him on the pads, but he didn’t do this in the fight’. Because someone is f***ing punching back, you dumb f***s.
“You don’t realize my power, and my speed, and my agility, and my footwork to get out of the way of those punches.”
“All of a sudden he’s throwing at air. He can’t land those punches on me.
“He was hard to hit. He was elusive. I was missing a lot of punches. I don’t know how he gets off to the side like that.”
And apparently the punches that Tyson did land failed to have much impact on the social media influencer.
Paul went on to claim: “Didn’t feel a thing, to be honest. It didn’t hurt. He didn’t really land anything.”
It isn’t yet known who Paul’s next opponent will be, having previously lost in a head to head battle against Tommy Fury.
Paul said: “I want to be a world champion, that’s my goal.”
